What does 1 Kings 1:6 mean?

His father had never questioned him or told him no. Adonijah was good-looking and was born right after Absalom. 1 Kings 1:6 - Modern Text Bible

(David never disciplined Adonijah, which may have encouraged his boldness. The mention of his looks and birth order connects him to Absalom, another rebellious son.)
